Ambivalence

[everyadventure]

Stroke my hair, but don't dare touch me.
I need space, some time alone.
You neglect me, you're always gone!
I love you, I loathe you, I wish you'd leave.
Bed me, bite me, let me be!
Hold me, goad me, kiss then dismiss me
f*** me, f*** you
hit me again, I dare you to!

Bruised, confused, tired, used,
Stay, go, I don't know...
decide for me, but
don't tell me what to do.

Something like a woman's complaint, lovable complaint

[hillwalker]

Only a woman could have written this (and no - I'm not being sexist)

H

ok, maybe I am

[PrinceMyshkin]

For once, I disagree with Hill: only someone (male or female) in a deep condition of ambivalence could have written this and, hopefully, having written it, won't have to endure it for too long.

Reworked this one... better? Worse?

[Twota]

I like it much more now. :)

[Hawkman]

Much more savagery in it now but to be honest I actually liked both versions.

[AuntShecky]

The age-old woman's prerogative set in witty verse. At least half the world's population can "relate" to this one.
Nicely done!

[Jerrybaldy]

Too familiar, too unoriginal. Not your best by your own high standards.

[Delta40]

I like the contradictory tone of the poem
